Passionfruit and Cream Cheese Filled Chocolate Easter Eggs

Happy Friday everyone! Life has been so crazy and hectic lately I'm really pleased that it's a long bank holiday weekend. There's lots planned for the weekend but at least I get to have a lie in and hopefully a chance to bake a few Easter themed treats. I saw this recipe on pinterest and immediately bookmarked it. Last year I baked chocolate easter eggs with a twist which I also baked back in 2012 so I wanted something a little different this year. This recipe was perfect as it's a really quick and easy no bake treat which looks very impressive.

You need to get hollow easter eggs - larger eggs will be easier to work with as you can just spoon the filling in. I bought these mini eggs so I used a piping bag to fill the eggs. The cheesecake mixture is really quick and easy to make and tastes great on its own. My favourite part is the 'yolk' which is a passionfruit and apricot curd. I also made some chocolate spoons to go with the eggs using my chocolate spoon mould.

making the 'yolk' (This is a double recipe which is why the amount looks more than stated)

cut the tops of the chocolate eggs. I left the foil wrapping on so that the eggs don't melt into the container and make a mess. Plus it's quite nice unwrapping the egg and eating it. I used a quails egg tray to hold the eggs. If you have larger eggs then a regular egg carton should suffice.

This is a half filled chocolate egg (well one that I broke but waste not want not)

This looks super duper impressive Ros, what a fun idea and I love the chocolate spoons to go with it. Yours look great. I've only managed one successful batch with mine. Thanks for entering them into WSC - even if it was an after thought ;-)

Hi! My name is Ros and I've discovered a new passion in life - baking! It's really fun trying new recipes and perfecting old ones. I love experimenting with different flavours and textures and am slowly getting better at cake decorating.
As of Feb 2016, I've started a new blog all about spiralizing called atwirlywhirly blog. This is completely different to my baking blog and I hope it will also appeal to my readers.
